| Björn Schießle is studying computer science at the University of Stuttgart. As one of his first activities in the Free Software movement he volunteered as a moderator for a German online community for Debian GNU/Linux (debianforum.de). Interested in the political and social aspects of software freedom Björn decided to join the Fellowship of the Free Software Foundation Europe in 2005. At the same time he started to work as an volunteer in the translation team. In 2006 he participated at the first international Fellowship meeting in Bolzano, Italy. |

If he should be elected as the first Fellow representative of FSFE's general assembly (GA) he wants to give the Fellows more influence into the decision making process of FSFE and make the processes as transparent as possible to the Fellows. To achieve this Björn will be available for discussions with the Fellows and will try to integrate their ideas, requests and concerns into the GA. |
Election 2009
In 2009 we will have the first vote for a GA Fellowship seat. Torsten Grote, Jan-Hendrik Peters, Michel Roche, and Björn Schießle are candidating for the seat.
Torsten Grote
Torsten is part of the Berlin Fellowship group. There he is actively organizing and helping with events like a lecture of Richard Stallman and the celebrations of the Document Freedom Day including handing over an award for the German secretary of state. Torsten also gave a speech at a Ubuntu release party and staffed FSFE's booth at the Linuxtag 2008.
If he should be elected as the first fellow member of FSFE's general assembly (GA), he will try to make FSFE's inner processes more transparent and introduce more democratic elements. As part of this, he plans to get into discussions with fellows before and after the GA meetings and then bring input from the fellowship into the GA. Torsten thinks that the freedom of computer users is not only threatened by proprietary software, but also by many other things such as new restrictive technology and laws. He wants FSFE to play a bigger part in defending users against these threats.
